We have been favoured by a respectable mercan tile house, with the following most gratifying docu me►tt, now in public circulation in Spain. It must be hifthly pleasing to every description of Britons, to be informed of the high sense of gratitude entertained by the noble-minded Spaniards, for the generous and magnanimous support they derive from the British Government ; and through no organ could such sen timents be more gratefully and acceptably conveyed, than the patriotic and virtuous Bishop of Santander, in his quality of Regent of the Province of the Mon taignes.

Major Roche, in his Majesty's name. Nothing can contribute more strongly to ce ment the harmony and amicable intercourse which 'happily now exists - between both nations, than such generous conduct; or can contribute more effectually to shake oil' the oppression which Spain labours under, owing to the artful intrigues of that infamous Chief of Robbers, assisted by our ancient bad Go vernment. It will be a source of infinite gratification to me, and ter every good Spani,rd, to see a cordial and reciprocal good understanding established between Great Britain and this country. " I beg leave to repeat, my Lord, my best ac ; knowledgments'for what has already happily taken place, and to express my hopes that your Excel le.ncy will encourage, by such means as shall appear most expedient, a ° Commercial Intercourse between both Nations, under tiv prote6tion' of the BritiSh Flag ; and here I r - rse it, in justice to the Corn :._manders 'of ins Majesty's Ships upon this station, to say, that they have the , strongest claims to our esteem, for having shewn every disposition to pro mote the intentions of the British Government ; . but, more particularly, I beg to have the honour of , recommending to your ExcellenCy's notice, Major ROCHE—whose exertions in fulfilling bis Majesty's gracious and generous. views towards this country have been unremitting—and who, in the frequent intercourse I have had with him; hai conducted : - liimself entirely to my wishes.

The robber, greedy of the miserable Spoil, instantly pUt a large club, which he had brandished, under his arm, and held his hat for the half• pence.-- The p9blican, watching his opportunity, seized the Vttick, beat him dreadfully, and left him on the road, with advice to have more sense and honesty I it) future.
